[Brian G Turner]

Stratego was a fave as a kid - and I never played Risk as often as I should have liked.

scrabble

 

[dwndrgn]

I like Scrabble and Pictionary and anything that includes trivia...

 

[Silk]

I always liked Ludo and Trivial Pursuit but we never owned a copy of that so I didn’t get to play very often

 

[Jayaprakash Satyamurthy]

Monopoly, Scrabble, Pictionary, Battleships, Chinese Checkers and Scotland Yard. I used to have the Mad board game too - that was great!!!

 

[Blue Mythril]

Chinese Checkers! I loved that game. Couldn't beat my brother at chess (which I still enjoy) but I owned him in Chinese Checkers. Battleships was mad fun too.
Though I don't like scrabble. In my family, its a very serious affair. So many tantrums, most revolving around the use of words in the scrabble dictionary. >.< Not cool, way too scary.
I've always wanted to play Risk, never got around to it though, its still sitting in my cupboard.
we had this Garfield boardgame that we loved.
Oh, Snakes and Ladders and Ludo are mad too.
Actually, my brother and sisters and I were always a bit into the board games. Cards too.
My recent purchase was a shots chess board. The pieces are shotglasses, which you have to down when you capture them. Much fun.

Clue and Cranium are two of my favorite games!

My all time favorite is Baulderdash. It can get terribly funny when you're playing with a creative group of people.

Aftermath, Cranium is a game that tests four areas of your brain. I can't think of what they call the categories, but I know one is for language. Another is a type of performing, where you have to hum songs and imitate people. There's another category in which you have to draw on paper or create images out of clay. And I can't remember the last one... unfortunately I don't own the game. Maybe someone else can give a better description.

 

[Maxwell Jennison]

Trivial Pursuit (any version will do)
Scene It
Risk 2210 A.D.
Monopoly

 

[cj719]

Advanced Civilization
Risk (2210 or Castle)
Scotland Yard
Axis & Allies (NOT the dumb new European Theatre one)
Monopoly (of course)
Cranium is hilarious, not too big on Trivial Pursuit (I get tired of the targeted expansions) Balderdash is fun, you can never go wrong with classics like chess (go grab a little card game called Knightmare Chess...its an intriguing way to play with your tired old chess board) chinese checkers, if you like those learn go (seriously awesome japanese game related to chess and othello) I'll post more later.

1829 (Hartland Trefoil - the inspiration and foundation for the computer game Railroad Tycoon) Civilization (Hartland Trefoil - not to be confused with the game of the computer game, but is the foundation and inspiration of the computer game), Thoughtwave, Hare and Tortoise, and many wargames (Sturm Nacht Osten, Kasserine, Imperium Romanum II, Hitler's War, Outreach - an SF game, Ancients, inter alia)
